KANSAS CITY -- The White Sox and Royals moved up their batting practice schedules on Monday for an extremely important reason. On the 16th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks on the United States, the date was marked at Kauffman Stadium by pregame ceremonies that included a moment of silence and the "We Shall Not Forget" silhouetted batter ribbon.

All on-field personnel -- including players, coaches and umpires -- wore caps with a side patch of an American flag, and proceeds from the sales of those caps will be donated to the 9/11 Memorial and Museum, the Pentagon Memorial and the Flight 93 Memorial.
